I found out tonight that there is a troll in our midst. Have you ever spotted the troll that controls the fire downtown? If not, you surely need to take a trip over to the Keeper of the Plains and say hello. Don’t worry–he’s all grated up and can’t touch you. He’s also made of metal and bathed in green light at night. But Wichita has a troll!
When someone first told me this I was suspicious. I thought they were making something up to laugh at me about later. But tonight I saw him! If you don’t believe me, go down to the river by Exploration Place. On the north side of the river there is a power plant (i think that’s what it is?) and there’s a little sewer/water drainage port built into a hill on the bank. I had seen this drainage port before and thought it was kind of creepy, but if you go up on top of the hill and look into it from above you can see the troll statue! There was an attraction in Wichita that I never even knew about and I grew up here!
The fire pits were lit when we were there tonight. I love the Keeper of the Plains, and being there when it was all lit up made me feel like summer is truly coming. It rained all day yesterday and today: SPRING!
Spring Break will be here in two short days. I’m headed to Texas to play a golf tournament (maybe two), so I’ll be rather busy. But it will be enjoyable because I’ll be with my team!
Most of us have gotten through our major midterms. I survived! Now getting through to spring break…
